ok, what happened to my pick in the Whirlaway?

He's yet another horse to create a phony aura based on a loose lead going two turns on the souped up inner track rail. He joins Magna Graduate and Johannesburg Star as horses that fooled people not following the goings-on on the Aqueduct inner dirt through the first week of January. Anybody actually following those races didn't like Lawrence the Roman today...just as they didn't like Johannesburg Star and Magna Graduate when they bombed in their following races. Frankly, there's a much longer list than that, and thankfully an equally long list of horses that have won back following wide trips on that biased course.

The good news for trip handicappers is the gold rail has reappeared at Aqueduct ( certainly Friday and today ) and if we get a few more weeks of it there will be plenty of money to be made by those willing to do the work when the surface returns to normalcy as it was for the past month.

Lawrence the Roman was 1:2? What a great game!
